Baseball Team To Manhattan For Two Games
The Jayhawker baseball team travels to Manhattan tomorrow for a pair of games with the Kansas State Wildcats, the only Big Six foe the University nine has been able to defeat this season.
Two weeks ago, the Kansas team dropped the Wildcats in two contests here by scores of 9 to 8 and 3 to 2. Since that time coach Vic Bradford's baseballers have lost four in a row to Oklahoma and Missouri. Kansas State is currently riding the crest of a five game winning streak. Washburn being the last victim at Topeka during the weekend.
Lineup Still Same
Coach Bradford said today that he plans no lineup changes for the Manhattan contests. He is sticking to the same batting order in hopes that the Jayhawkers will start pushing some long overdue runs across the plate.
Kansas pounded out 19 hits against the Sooners in Norman but scored only seven runs. Against Missouri, the Jayhawkers counted only 13 hits and 4 runs in 21 innings.
Favor Wildcats
Favor Wildcats The Wildcats will enter the two game series as favorites despite their previous double loss to the club from Lawrence. The Kansas Staters hold two victories over the Missouri nine by scores of 4 to 2 and 4 to 3.
Coach Bradford will start Dick Gilman on the mound against the Wildcats tomorrow. Gilman bested Jack Bell of Kansas State in a hurling duel in the series here. "Lefty" Hammer will be the likely Kansas starter in Thursday's contest.
The Kansas team needs a pair of triumphs to bring its winning percentage up to a respectable level. By winning both games, the Jayhawkers would come home with a 400 average on four victories in 10 games.
Army Offers Commissions
Students under 28 years of age who will graduate before July 15 may apply for a commission if they are former army officers. This applies to all men, regardless of their current or future eligibility.
Do you want a commission in the regular a rmy? Representatives from the war department will be on the campus Friday to explain a plan for commissioning college graduates in the regular army.
The representatives will be in Lindley hall auditorium at 4 p.m. Friday. Another board, composed of regular army screening officers, will be on the campus May 19. They will interview the students who apply for commissions Friday.
Col. John Alfrey, professor of military science, said, "It will be necessary to commission a large number of civilian college graduates each year in order to maintain the present peaceetime strength of the army at 50,000 regular officers."
Labor Men To Take Tours To Mexico
Chicago—(UP)—Inauguration this summer of low-cost tours to Mexico for United States labor union members was announced here by Guillarme Hawley, representative of the Mexican Tourist department and the Mexican railways.
Hawley said the only requirement for taking one of the tours will be membership in some American union, whether it be CIO, AFL, or independent.
He said arrangements have beer made to place the cost of travel and housing in Mexico at rock bottom During their visits to Mexico, the tourist-workers will be entertained by Mexican unions and will have a chance to see how the trades union movement operates south of the border.
Here is Dick Richards, currently number one man on coach Gordon Sabine's league leading Jayhawker tennis team. He took straight set victories over singles opponents at Iowa State and Nebraska during the weekend, as well as teaming with Roy Shoaf to turn in a pair of victories in doubles matches.

Falls City, Neb.—(UP)—A Falls City lumberman, tired of listening to complaints from farmers about the high price of lumber, decided to illustrate that his prices were just about "even-steven" with farm produce.
Lumber Prices 'Even-Steven'
With Prices Of Hogs
He drew a parallel between a 250 - pound hog and a square of shingles.
Shingles, he said, are selling for about $16 a square as compared to $0.25 before the war. A 250- pound hog today will buy slightly more than four squares of shingles.
Before the war, at around $10 per hundredweight, the same porker would buy exactly four squares of shingles.
The Record Is Eight Rows
Evansville, Ind.-(UP)-Edmund J. Schmitt filed a $500 suit against the FAA for professional wrecker, for injuries suffered in an unscheduled ringside event.
Schmitt charged he was watching a wrestling match when Garibaldi flew through the ropes, landed in his lap, grabbed him in a strangle hold, and pummeied him into unconsciousness.
The Indiana State wrestling commission exonerated Garibaldi.
